I just installed 4 new Falken Azenis tires on my 2000 C5 Corvette. I bought them from Discount tire. They are really affordable, and I was happy with the Falken tires I had on my 1986 C4 Corvette convertible and my 1985.5 Porsche 944. Also, a friend who works at a tire shop recommended Falken Azenis or Firestone Indy. In addition, as Bill Curlee advises, I have scheduled an appointment for an alignment. I prefer a shop which does laser alignment instead of the old-school/traditional alignment, as my tires seem to wear more evenly after a laser alignment, but I suppose any alignment is better than nothing. As for shocks. I have Bilstein, and they are excellent.

Only run flats for me.
It's nice to run on cheap tires until you get a flat and don't have a spare.
l'd rather spend a little more now over being cheap for the insurance.
It does suck though that the selection is small on them.

Agree on Michelin
However, I would like a less expensive all season alternative.
